This week, the StampinB hostess is Faith, a/k/a Markie's Mom, to make a card using two different dies and piercing on your card.
I had to use my little $1 Michael's bin birdie again. I just love this cute stamp and it's great for paper piecing. I stamped the musical score b/g for the main mat and for the bird. I lightly sponged pretty in pink around the bird and used 3 nesties for the image mats. I popped up the bird and the main nestie panel on dimensionals. Added a lightly sponged sentiment, ribbon and flowers. For the piercing, I decided to do the faux stitching with it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look.
P.S. This also fits the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club June theme-Text Me using text or musical scoring on your card!

This is so darling...I just adore it! Love the colors...and the sponging perfectly highlights the little bird (a $1 really? I must go to Michael's this weekend and see what that have...really don't need any more but it would be fun to just "look"...LOL). The little rosette against the punched flower adds the perfect touch!

This is soooo adorable. I love your sweet chickee and the musical images. What a delight this creation is!
One of our ond ducks decided to build a nest in some hay that DH had in the corner of our garage and this morning 5 baby ducks hatched out - they are sooo cute - there are about 18 more eggs so we may have a bunch of babies soon. This card reminds me of them. They are precious.

Oh my gosh Pamzi is this ever sweet. I love how you did your image with the music sheet and then that flower in the corner is just delightful. Now I see some stitching on this card. Don't tell me you took out that faux sewing machine Benzi sent you and finally got it to work!!! I am so curious as to how you accomplished this. It sure does look nice I'll tell ya!!!
